Monte Vista Preschool
Helping little hands to pray to God, love others and help their friends.
Our program is designed to provide developmentally appropriate experiences that involve the whole child: cognitively, physically, spiritually and socially.
“Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.” (Luke 2:52)
It is our desire that we teach every child at school how to
grow in wisdom (cognitively), stature (physically), in favor with
God (spiritually), and in favor with people (socially).
Our primary purpose is to help each child value themselves as
a unique individual created by God. Then they can learn
to love others and help their friends.
We offer Half Day (8:30am-12:00pm) and School Day (8:00am-3:00pm)
preschool programs for children 2 to 5 years old.
In all of our classes, we focus on hands-on learning, primarily through play. We teach a letter a week as well as a number, color and shape each month. Activities generally center around a theme, which we change every few weeks.

Missions
Serving near and far
At Monte Vista, we continue to grow in our compassion as we reach out beyond ourselves and to serve others. As PCH disciples, compassion works itself out in our approach to others - both those in our community and those outside.
We support a variety of missions at home and abroad, including Compassion International, Habitat for Humanity, Hands of Mercy, IMPACT, Lighthouse Shelter, Lutheran Social Services, Manna, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Teen Challenge, Lifewater International, Westminster Free Clinic and Younglife.
WAYS YOU CAN SERVE
If you would like to help us serve the community, consider volunteering with us at the Westminster Free Clinic (Wednesday nights) or help build with Habitat for Humanity (Wednesday, Saturday). For more information, contact Danny Benson at (213) 910-9091.
Our goal is to live out the words in Matthew 28 when Jesus says to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching others. He also reminds us that “surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.”
As we go out, we are not alone. We seek a faith that serves both people and projects through ongoing prayer and financial support. We equip and send out short and long-term missionaries. We seek to serve those who are in need locally and globally by providing shelter, clothes, food, and the love of God.
